Because this never happens.....

It looks as though the fraud was only discovered when the real student contacted Durham for a reference, so presumably the university did actually issue a new degree certificate based solely on "a very convincing document" Hmm. No mention of whether they requested a GRC or any other supporting information.

Another to add to the 'It'll never happen' resource thread.

Oh magnetic your problem is trying to think for yourself, silly goose. Our woke overlords will tell you what to think, and they've already told you that No one would ever pretend to be trans for nefarious purposes. Who are you going to believe? Them or your lying eyes?

(I'm not even going to bother correcting that car crash of a post. Hopefully my point got through despite my fat fingers! Grin )

*"The woman – who is not trans –"

Hmm, that's a bit problmnatic (to use the lingo)

If she/he was trans, she'd/he'd be a man and it'd be literal violence to dead-name her/him?
So by saying she is a /he has always been a man and only identifies as a woman.

Or something. Confused

Do better, Durham (to continue using the lingo)

He correctly spotted that people have been trained to put their brains to one side when dealing with trans issues.

No one is going to lie about being trans for fraudulent reasons. We have been told this already....

Hmm

I guess no one at these institutions wants to be the big meanie demanding proof of transition, that’s so unaffirming dontcha know? Or maybe all the admin personnel are all treading eggshells scared to question for fear of woke students piling on screaming ‘transphobia’ amidst demands for them to be fired.

So, someone tell me again, if this never happens and we’re not allowed to question when it does, how do we tell the difference between the genuine transtioners and those pretending for nefarious purposes?

This could never happen of course Hmm
